Elements Assessment Module Guide

If your UoA collects output self-reviews from academics, you can input them in this stage of the output. 

Output selections and self-reviews can be completed by Users (researchers), or by a member of staff impersonating them. This data can also be input via bulk upload. UoAs can decide how they would like to manage their exercise in this respect.

Your/the User's exercise must be in the Selection & self-review for self reviews to be added (unless you are inputting reviews using a bulk update). 

Scoreset

The scoreset in this stage has a high, medium and low value for each 1*-4* integer. 

The high, medium and low values should be used to indicate the confidence the reviewer has in the score they are attributing to the output. 

You can also see a description of each score by clicking the ? icon next to the score dropdown. 

Self-review

Your/the User's exercise must be in the Selection & self-review self reviews to be added (unless you are inputting reviews using a bulk update). 

Inputting Self-reviews can be completed by a User or another member of staff impersonating them in Elements. Your UoA can decide whether you want individual academics to engage with the assessment exercise process, or if administrative/management staff will complete this section on their behalf. 

To begin the Self-review stage, click Menu > Assessment > My Reviews > Assessment Reviews > Start. You should then see an introduction to your/the User's exercise. 

Next, click Contributions to knowledge and understanding to navigate to the User's list of selected outputs. 

Click ADD A REVIEW or VIEW ITEM DETAILS next to the output you'd like to review

Scroll to the bottom of the page to input your review score and text. Click the ? icon to see descriptions of each score.

Navigate back to the output list by clicking BACK TO LIST to see which outputs you have/haven't reviewed. 

Once you have completed your reviews, click SUBMIT to move the exercise to the Review stage.
